It was a Centrelink debt for $45,500.

The letter was intended for another woman with the same name, who lived in a suburb with the same name, in a different state, said Ms Donaldson, whose name has been changed for legal reasons.

The woman was also born on the same day of the same month as Ms Donaldson, but in a different year.

The 43-year-old Sydney woman called Centrelink to explain it had the wrong person, but her customer number did not match that of the woman who had acquired the debt.

She was told she would not be able to contest the bill as she could not prove her identity

I would flip out.
